What Pen Are You Waiting For In The Mail 2015

[Kataphract]

What is this life.. Waiting for the entire day, not doing anything for UPS to deliver my parcel. Almost 2pm and still not delivered..

They teased me. The UPS truck enters the housing tract, and I can see it go downhill. Then it lazily comes back up, turns onto my street, and then goes up to the top of the hill. It finally comes back down, stops in front of the house, then speeds off to the main drag.

 

But...Bourgogne! Yeeha!

I know the sound the duck makes, I know the sound the chicken makes, I know the sound the pig makes.

And I know the sound the UPS MAN makes, coming down my street

I'm waiting for a black CT Waterman Carène with a F nib ... should arrive today or tomorrow

[henkc]

I have absolutely no idea what's on the way. I won an auction on a local site for "9 X COLLECTORS FOUNTAIN PEN INCLUDING EXTRA NIBS (NEEDS INK REFILL) -SEE DESCRIPTION". I paid R61 plus postage for these pens. That's $4.43.

 

The last time I bought a lot of pens from this seller, I paid a lot more, but there was a "51" vac, A Sheaffer Touchdown (which needs a bit of repair work) and a Montblanc Noblesse in the package.

 

Any ideas on what I've bought:

I've just added two Dollar pens and a Phaeton.

[TeaHive]

Sigh.. I should just stop telling myself "This is the last pen," because it never stops. I should just come to terms with it..

 

Came in today: Parker 41 in Pale Green. A bit of discoloration, but it's otherwise like new. And a Parker Striped Duofold pencil in Dusty Red. My Striped Duofold collection is finally complete. Whew.

 

On the way: An Esterbrook Red J, Esterbrook Copper J, a yellow Serwex flex pen to check out for funsies, aaaaand I got caught by the Goulets and their newest Nouveau Premiere, the Fall 2015 edition "Midnight Thunder." And Noodler's Konrads in Jade Dixie ebonite, Himalayan Ruby acrylic, and Galapagos and Black brush pen version.

 

Now, to sell a bunch of pens..

[Noihvo]

Just ordered a couple:

 

A Lamy Logo to fill out my Lamy collection. Now have all steel nib sizes but the 1.9 mm.

 

And my very first Parker, an Urban Deluxe Pearl, which will also by my very first white pen.

[NewFPU]

I think my pen is lost in the mail. I tracked it to Virginia nearly 3 days ago & it has not moved since! This is a LE pen .

I've just added two Dollar pens and a Phaeton.

 

This font is not green enough for my envy. A Phaeton is high on my list of pens to acquire.

Then you don't want to know what I paid...

 

You can always come over and visit it....

Somehow I am falling off the wagon like crazy here !

 

I see that tracking says I'll get the Pilot Kakuno and Metropolitan I've been waiting for tomorrow, and maybe I will and maybe I won't. USPS is rather flaky sometimes.

 

But why did I fall off the wagon again earlier today and buy a Cross Stratford ? It even has proprietary cartridges ! Yes, I can refill them, as I refill others. But I do not need another fountain pen. And now I have three of them in the mail.

 

I can't get a lead on how long the Cross is going to take to get here. It's still “processing.”

 

And I am still eying a $20 bottle of ink. I need more ink even less than I need more fountain pens.

I saw a pack of three cheap Chinese artist/calligraphy nibs for $1.62 so I also ordered a Jinhao 886 for $2.25 and I'm hoping they're compatible. If not I'm guessing I've got something in my cheapo pen box that I can use. I've never tried a shaped nib before (or even a broad or stub) so I figured for $3 and some change I'd give it a go.

Ok so they came today, and yes, I was able to swap the nibs. But for the record, man is that 886 a cheap feeling pen. Yes it has the silly spiderweb on the cap, so yes it's kids pen. But I paid a touch more for it than a 599, and the manufacturing quality is miles apart. For example the mold seam on the section's screw threads is so pronounced I can barely open it.

 

But anyway, it holds the nib I wanted to play with, and the feed gives ink just fine, so function served.
